GHILDS SEAT FOR BABBERS CHAIRS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 8, 1921.

Application filed September 23, 1920. Serial No. 412,112.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonon T. MUDD, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bardstown, in the county of Nelson and State of Kentucky,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Childrens Seats forBarbers Chairs, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a childs seat attachment for barbers chairs andone of the objects of the invention is to provide a device .of thischaracter which will be simple in construction, easy to operate andwhich when not in use may be folded up in back of the main chair towhich it is attached.

With this general object in view my invention consists of certain noveland peculiar features of construction and combination of parts ashereinafter described and claimed; and in order that it may be fullyunderstood, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure 1 is an elevation of a barbers chair showing the childs seat inposition for use and showing in dotted lines, the seat folded back andout of use.

Fig. 2- is a detached front elevation of the childs seat.

Fig. 3- is a fragmentary section showing the stop-hinge constructionwhich permits folding of the arms.

In the drawings, I have illustrated a conventional barbers chairprovided with a seat, 1. back 2, and head rest 3. Rigidly secured to thetop of the chair back are a pair of lugs 4, which provide a portion ofthe means for pivotally and foldably securing the childs seat to thechair. The numeral 5, designates a pair of links of substantially thesame 7 or depth of the chair back, the said links being pivotallysecured to the aforesaid lugs. Pivotally secured to the links 5, are apair of back rods 6, which may be given a suitable finish such as a coatof nickel plating. To the lower end of the said rods, seat supportingmembers 10, are pivotally connected by means of stop hinges 11. Securedto the said seat carrying members 10, is a suitable cushioned seat 7Pivotally connected to the seat 7, on each side are arm rests 9,supported by the two standards 12, the said length as the thickness.

standards being foldably connected to the seat by means of stop hinges18.

The operation of my invention is as follows, when it is desired to usethe seat to place a child in a convenient position for the barber to cutits hair, the seat is rotated from the folded inoperative position inrear of the back, as shown in dotted lines in the drawing, to the openposition as shown in full lines. The link 5, then rests on top of andthe rods 6, against the chair back 2. The seat 7, is held in suitableopen position by means of the stop hinges 11 and the arm rests areturned up and held in position for the childs use, through the medium ofthe stop hinges 13.

When the childs chair is no longer desired for use the arm rests 9, arefolded down on the seat as shown in Fig. 3, the seat 7 is folded upagainst the chair back 2, and the childs chair thus folded is rotatedrearwardly through approximately 360 to a position in the rear of themain chair back.

In this folded position, the top side of the.

childs seat is facing outwardly, thus making a neater appearance than ifthe bottom side was exposed to view.

From the above description it will be apparent that my inventionpossesses the advantages of being constructed of a few parts which areeasily produced and assembled and will not readily get out of order.When the chair is not in use, it may be compactly folded out of positionand still be conveniently located for ready use.

Nhile I have illustrated and described the preferred form of myinvention it will be understood that I reserve the right to all changesfalling within the appended claims.

Therefore what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A device of the character described, an auxiliary seat member, anauxiliary back member to which the seat member is rotatably connected, achair back, means for rotatably connecting the said back member to thetop of the chair back, the said seat member adapted to be folded upagainst the back member and the said members, while in nested position,rotated to inoperative folded position in the rear of the main chairback.

2. Adeviee of the character described, an member, and the said members,While in auxiliary seat member, an auxiliary back nested position,rotated to inoperative foldmember to which the seat member is rotatedposition in the rear of the main chair 10 ably connected, a chair back,links pivotally back. 7 secured to the top of the chair back and to Intestimony whereof I hereby affix my the said back member, the said seatmember signature. adapted to be folded up against the back GEORGE T.MUDD.
